Labour-Management Relations

Undergraduate

A comprehensive introduction to the dynamic world of labour and management relations focusing on the unionized sector and relevant governing legislation, with a focus on Ontario laws. The problems, issues, and challenges growing out of the labour-management relationship are examined against a broad background of information, including: the differences between union and non-union workplaces; the development and operation of labour unions; the impact of labour legislation; the negotiation and administration of collective agreements; and the resolution of industrial conflict. Given the size and importance of this unionized workforce in Canada, the knowledge and skills developed in this course have wide application. (Prerequisite: MGMT-2430 or Semester 3 or above standing for students in the Labour Studies program.)
